3.5.1 Enabling or Disabling a Port

The enabling or disabling of a port is a manual operation that can be used to isolate a network device that might be causing problems on the network, or to prevent unauthorized use of a port or station.

To enable or disable a port, use the following procedure:

1.Access the Basic Port Configuration Menu by typing p in the Configuration Menu.

2.To select the port to enable or disable, type s, n, or p in the Basic Port Configuration Menu.

3.To toggle the port’s connection to either enabled or disabled status, then type t.

The port’s status is changed immediately, and it is reflected in the Port Configuration Menu’s Port Status indication and the Operating Status symbol for the port.

Important! Be careful not to disable the port to which your console/computer is connected. This will disconnect the computer from the switch and prevent further configuration of the switch. Likewise, be cautious about disabling uplink ports on the switch.

3.6 Advanced Port Configuration

The Advanced Port Configuration Menu allows the user to enable or disable 802.3x flow control, enable or disable Traffic Class of Service, set the default priority of a port, and set the maximum packet length.

To access the Advanced Port Configuration Menu, type v in the Port Configuration Menu. The Advanced Port Configuration Menu appears, as shown below.
